As you approach the area, your eyes catch a figure in the front yard of a nearby house. It's Noah, perched atop an overturned planter, his presence no longer marked by the ominous pitch-black eyes you witnessed during your previous encounter. Instead, his gaze meets yours with a startling clarity – his eyes are a piercing shade of blue that seems to hold a depth of understanding.
With a casual and almost expectant air, Noah idly tosses the TARNISHED BELL in his hand, as if he knew you would come looking for him. His demeanor remains stoic, far beyond his years, and he regards you with a calm intensity that adds to the strangeness of the situation.
Without any preamble, Noah breaks the silence with a question that cuts straight to the heart of your shared experience. "Have you heard the whispers at night too?"
Your heart skips a beat at the mention of the whispers, the very same eerie murmurs that have haunted your dreams and the quiet hours of darkness in Eldridge. The connection between you and Noah seems to deepen, and you realize that he may hold the answers to some of the town's most elusive mysteries.
